In evolutionary biology, mimicry is
the similarity of one species to another
which protects one or both. This
similarity can be in appearance,
behaviour, sound, scent and even
location, with the mimics found in
similar places to their models
Classification of Behaviour:
I. Primitive Behaviours
-Kinesis
-Taxis
-Reflex
-Instinct or Instinctive behaviours
(Innate, stereotype, Fixed Action
Patterns, Species-Specific)
-Motivated behaviours (Drive)
e.g. hunger, thirst, sexual drive etc..
II. Modification of Primitive Behaviour by
Learning Experience
Kinesis
Phototaxis
A taxis (plural taxes) is an innate behavioral response by
an organism to a directional stimulus or gradient of
stimulus intensity. A taxis differs from a tropism (turning
response, often growth towards or away from a stimulus) in
that the organism has motility and demonstrates guided
movement towards or away from the stimulus source .It is
sometimes distinguished from a kinesis, a non-directional
change in activity in response to a stimulus.
